Nuclear Engineer Reacts to Sam O'Nella Academy 'Banned and Controversial Foods'

[pakboris]

In his previous video Sam said that YouTube didn't like how Sam called us kids. So now we majors because Sam has to, not because we did something 😂

I love how the issue can be whatever and suddenly this man would go " that's like nuclear..." 😅

Fun fact: China was dumping more contaminated water into the ocean, than the Fukushima disaster ever could. Also, leave it to the French to find another way to torture birds for food, like how they force feed ducks in order to eat their fatty livers.

The ortolan was even mentioned in COD WW2, “take the ortolan; that tiny, delicate songbird. It’s eyes poked out so that it can gorge, and then it’s drowned in cognac it’s ingenious. I’m not sure what I’ll miss more; savouring the sweet flesh, or watching it thrash to death.”

I love that little justification at the beginning about how eating and drinking can be prohibited in the event of a radiation release. Totally unnecessary, because everyone loves Sam O'Nella and nobody would complain about this, but made me chuckle.

Also shark steaks are delicious, but I've never had shark fin. Caught blacktip sharks a few times down in Galveston. Got shark filets and steaks out of them, so I can guarantee you the rest of the shark is not poopy garbage. Never actually made shark fin soup, though, just kinda threw the fins away with the organs and other inedible parts.

Also "bones in soup" is just how you make stock. Boil the bones until the collagen comes out into the broth. A real good stock takes at least around 8 hours, you pull out the bones once you can crumble them in your hands.

6:20 Bones actually have a lot of nutrients in the marrow, that is why it is used as broth

Most shark fin soup isn't, btw, it uses substitutes to present the same texture and taste.
I have a very good Japanese friend who has had both real and substitute shark fin soup (and doesn't care for either) and she says there is no real difference in taste and texture between them.

China bans Japanese sea food for political reasons, they just use safety concerns as an excuse.

The French used to hunt songbirds nearly to extinction across the country using nets dipped in glue. Entire flocks would be caught, nearly wiping out entire species of migratory birds.
Those hunting methods were banned in the rest of Europe in the 1960s if not earlier. It was only France where it wasn't yet banned until the EU stepped in in one of the very few episodes where they actually did something positive!
Hence the quick recovery of the species. It still had somewhat healthy populations elsewhere, and breeding areas. Getting rid of the hunting in France allowed those populations to quickly recover and spread back into France where they had gone all but extinct.
This didn't just save the ortolan but several other species as well.

To give a "wonderful" quote by Anthony Bourdain regarding Ortolan eating.

“I bring my molars down and through my bird’s rib cage with a wet crunch and am rewarded with a scalding hot rush of burning fat and guts down my throat. Rarely have pain and delight combined so well. I’m giddily uncomfortable, breathing in short, controlled gasps as I continue slowly — ever so slowly — to chew. With every bite, as the thin bones and layers of fat, meat, skin, and organs compact in on themselves, there are sublime dribbles of varied and wondrous ancient flavors: figs, Armagnac, dark flesh slightly infused with the salty taste of my own blood as my mouth is pricked by the sharp bones. As I swallow, I draw in the head and beak, which, until now, have been hanging from my lips, and blithely crush the skull.”

Shark finning is worse for shark population than you'd think as the pelvic fins of a male shark are where the shark's pps (yes they have two) are located. This basically means that finning a male shark is inherently neutering the shark.

2:00 THEY'RE PUTTING THINGS IN THE WATER THAT ARE TURNING THE FRIGGIN FROGS BLACK!

That Bill Cosby and the lobotomy inventor joke in the end is golden 😂😂😂

Just remember that it took less than Fifty years for the passenger pigeon to become extinct, and with that the white oak tree became less used for wood barrel aging Tennessee whiskey . It’s a small domino effect of ecosystems that were destroyed by railroads into the western United States.

[AgentSapphire]

when you put bones in soup you're actually boiling the nutrition and marrow out of the bone to create a broth. You don't eat the hard part itself. Though it is edible if you were to grind it up really fine and mix it with flour to make bread or something.

Not exactly.
He have got a warning from YT admins to stop using term “kids”, since his content isn’t entirely suitable for minors.

So, when that fancy bottle of expensive water says it comes straight from the ALPS, we should assume it's been in a nuclear reactor at some point. ;)

[fun_police]

I am still so impressed with how Tyler can relate these random topics to nuclear power so seamlessly.

[seanspartan]

Sinewy is a good description of shark fin soup. Bird's nest soup just tasted liked weird broth.

(Don't judge, I was a kid when I ate that)

The island sydrome that Sam was talking about is the same thing as your Cherynobyl wildlife example. Both are just animal populations shifting due to natural selection from changing living conditions aka evolution.

[Mare_Man]

Bones actually do have quite a bit of nutritional value, unlike shark fins
